Destiny 2

They are binning planetary materials after this season so that's at least one less bit of mess for new/returning players to decipher.

I have a good stats build on my Sentinel, but because I never raid, I don't have access to raid weapons, which kinda limits my options. It's fine for me though, since the activities I play don't really require specific builds, outside of champion mods.

Also, I haven't played much during this season so far. Been busier with other games... and real life. Hopefully I'll be fine by the time Lightfall comes out.

So the intro quest to Festival of the Lost is bugged. At the step where you need to turn 2 Spectral pages into 2 Manifested pages, it takes the former out of your inventory, but doesn't return the latter.

Can't believe the thumb twiddling at the end due to the time limit is still there. Well, I mean I can believe it... Classic Bungo!

Ruffians are slightly fixed now at least. They don't despawn when you hit 100%, and there's a 7% chance of an extra one spawning.

How does Thurs/Fri sound mate? Got a couple of raids earlier in the week, I'm happy to jump on after them if you fancy a run Tues/Weds but it would probably be like 9-9.30ish before I'm free.

Its a plan!

I'm still waiting patiently for my Graviton Lance catalyst to drop.

Sigh.

Meantime, I'm having a hell of a good time with solar. Using Sunbracers and speccing for scorch recharging my melee whilst using an incandescent levelled up Calus Mini Tool means the loop for fighting off a load of adds goes: Powered melee, chuck 4-5 grenades about, if that doens't instantly recharge my melee again then blast a few with the mini tool, with the scorch then recharding my melee, do a powered melee, chuck 4-5 grenades rinse and repeat.

It's absolutely horrific. For them. I can pretty much make any battleground an absolute inferno in a short space of time.

Paul Tassi and Aztecross (YouTube) have put up a couple of speculation videos about Telesto now firing constellation patterns!? Who knows. Could be an interesting community challenge.

I never actually tried that one out, despite absolutely loving the season of the splicer auto rifle. It can be focussed at the war table too IIRC, but yeah, you'll need to do battlegrounds aplenty!

Yeah, void kinda got the short end of the stick in terms of potential damage (at least for Sentinels). It's more of a support/defensive build. I do enjoy being able to have a recharging overshield very often thanks to barricades, etc. But in terms of damage, even with grenades setup to create wells to increase my void weapons damage and then recharge themselves via chain explosions, it's just not fast enough to create a reliable loop unless you are in a very dense activity (Altars for example). Invisibility with finishers is also a bit less reliable than it should be, since finishers are quite slow.

And nobody ever shoots through my banner shield. Bungie needs to do something to make sure that people realize when a Titan is not running bubble, because people won't care otherwise.

Makes a change from them having to 'adjust' the progress behind the scenes because they misjudged it and progress was so slow we'd never get there.

With the glitch on Treasure Co-ordinate mats it's possible to cheese your donations to get the entire reward track in about 20 minutes without leaving your menus. Which may have had something to do with the community goals getting finished so fast.

Can't say I'm bothered it's a v weak event at end of an equally weak season.

Ah, the planetary mats donation wasn't unlocked when i used that method this morning. Yeah no wonder the community goal was smashed today.

I wouldn't have had enough mats to do that anyway, already got rid of most buying Upgrade Modules or converting to shards.

New season is almost upon us. Rumor is that it will involve

I've played very little in Haunted and Plunder (only got to rank 54 and 45, respectively). Let's see if this is gonna get me back in tow. Just in case, yesterday I went and completed a few quests I had left dangling. Now I have all the Stasis aspects, the rank 45 weapon, and the Vanguard special weapon. Can't reset my rank because I don't feel like using up my enhancement prisms, and I already have a full stack of Ascendant Shards anyway. Bungie really needs to let me throw away rewards.

Anyway, I've kinda stopped caring about the story stuff, quality has been down the drain for a while. The last cutscene in particular was completely disjointed from the rest of the season, from what I've heard. Whatever, guess they needed an excuse to get Osiris doing hot robot yaoi sex... or something like that.

On a side note, Stasis aspects are a lot easier to get now, though they still feel somewhat grindy. I played seven strikes yesterday morning, and got the last four quests done in one go.

I've been having my fun with Stasis lately. Sometimes I equip it just for kicks, which I never do with the other two elements (I've been a Void follower since D1).
